Three Fragments

by graff1980

1. Such vehemence For immigrants Border patrol Vigilance I never knew A human being Could be illegal 2. A child should never be taught to hate And human beings must never be insulated Or inoculated against the horrors of war 3. There is no liberation in this economy Debt is a slower and slightly grayer Variation of slavery No more cotton fields but prison labor Tell me where is our great modern emancipator?
